THE OPENING. The Republican campaign is opened. Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and about 3,000 people on the iwside, and as many more on the outside, opened the campaign at the Coliseum last night. If every opening in Indiana is as enthusiastic as the one at . Richmond, the State will give 40,000 Republican majority. If a single thing interfe'rred with the entire success of the meeting, it was the exceedingly hot weather but people paid but little attention to the temperature because they all seemed charmed with the "Grand Old Man" from Illinois. Congressman Watson made a happy speech introducing Speaker Cannon, Avho began by speaking of Mr. Watson's industry and ability as a member of the lower house. Mr. Cannon's speech was a thorough discussion of protection, sound mney and President Roosevelt. He reminded one of the school teacher because his illustrations were so simple and lucid that every one present cowld grasp his full meaning. Mr. Cannon is a man of such wonderful resources that he can give facts and figures without the use of a census report or a manuscript. His speech was full of hope and encouragement for the people of the country. ; : 1 ; : Congressman "Jim" Watson received quite a welcome last night. An effort was made to get him to speak at the close of Mr. Cannon's speech but of course he would' not do so on an evening given entirely to Mr. Cannon. 1 , j ' . j i $ Earlham College may well feel proud of Congressman Cannon. He was one of Earlham 's students. Such students always bring fame to their alma maters.

feature was without doubt the. solo number by Mr. Hall, the second tenor, whose powerful voice, with a wonderfully sweet upper .register, was heard to great effect in several popular songs, his first song being encored persistently. Every appearance of Mr. Hall being greeted with applause as a tenor voice of this quality is rare. Iu the evening the comedian of the company, Mr. Boardman, appeared in one or two amusing monologues which took with the audience,: Mr. Boardman being a genuine comedian of more than usual talent for humorous numbers of this character. In the evening the company gave another short and varied program, immediately after the evening lecture, which was greeted so appreciatively that they ran over their time, and were compelled to refuse to respond to the insistent applause. The feature of the evening's program was the solo "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," by the basso of the company and its manager, Mr. W. C. Buckner, who has a wonderful voice of marvelous lower register and strong lyrical quality. ' Mr. Buckner, in response to an encore giving "Fortv Fathoms-Deep." with

'.'' f 1 Evening Lecture by Prof. Schaff er. "Does Education t Pay ?" was the theme of the discourse of Professor Schaffer last evening and so convincingly eloquent in the affirmative was Professor Schaffer 's argument that it would have been a perverse and stupid person who would or could aiid upon their return there was instituted the beginnings of an educational system which has practically made a nation. In 1S6G that Prussia would lose to Austria was simply taken for granted. The amazement over her victories was universal. Immediately upo nthe close of hostilities the force that govern in Austria began to plan a system on the German form. "A nation of school masters has conquered," said Bismarck at the close of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 which rent the rotten fabric of Napoleon Third's glittering official costume. Victor Hugo says "open a school and you close a prison." It is the struggle for the markets of the world which shows that education pays. "Made in Germany," a book which had great vogue at the time of its publication, has a quotation in its preface from a speecb by the great Englishman of affairs, Lord Roseberry, to this effect. "I am afraid of Germany. Why, Because I adj mire her so much," going on to show that it was by the application of her knowledge of the sciences and the arts to material progress which made her a dangerous commercial rival. To

show bow. seriously this meace to Eng

land's once dominating commercial as-. cendenev was regarded, the act of parliament, requiring all manufactured articles to be stamped with the name of the country in which thev'i were made, is cited, and "Made in Germany,', appears on commercial products which flood the markets of the world.- Taking Massachusetts as an illustration, not regarding his own State of Pennsylvania a typical -..of existing American conditions on account of the vast number of undesirable immigrants with which that commonwealth is overridden, Professor Schaffer proved conclusively that the educational system in vogue in that State was largely responsible for her commercial successes. In a certain great shoe manufactory he found a Cornell graduate as foreman of one of the departments using his knowledge of science to a successful business outcome for himself; rows and rows of machines were presided over by the graduates of the State's High Schools. The development of the in tellect by study, the mental habits induced by the discipline of a curriculum, the stability of purpose inculcated by rigorous application to the mastering of a language, a science, an ait, all these make for material success, being a solid foundation upon which is erected the structure or stable social conditions. That this is proven by statistics, over and over again, was made brilliantly lucid by the statistics quoted repeatedly by Professor Schaffer, showing conclusively that the earning power of an individual is steadily increased by his previous educational advantages. A boy who had achieved a classical education with great difficulty, having to "work his own way," was asked Jiow it had contributed to his success. "Before," he said, "The greatest sum I ever made in one year was $450. Within a few years after I was making from $1900 to $4000." The President of the Big Four railroad was asked what one single influence had the most largely contributed to his success. "The study of Greek," said Mr. Ingalls. By this study he leared to weigh words, he acquired the discipline of clear mental habit which served him to good purpose in later life. Professor Schaeffer did not wish to be regarded as meaning to convey the idea$that the study of Greek would make . for success alone, but that the development and broader outlook induced by the college education was a result not to be attained by a mere attendance on our elementary schools. Education also leads to the higher life, that contemplation of all that is good and beautiful in the universe. Love, after all, love not in its generally accepted meaning, but love of home, friends, kindred, country, makes the substance of living, it is the ver yessence of that higher life, of that faith and hope and belief which is essential to the well beig of a nation. Education leads into this as naturally, as it contributes to the earning power of a dollar. Our greatest social institution, our public school system, is the rack upon which the Republic rests, and on it is irrevocably fixed the continued safety and triumphant outcome of the Nation. Professor Schaeffer 's address was warmly applauded throughout and was an eloquent argument and a truthful and convincing statement of actual conditions. Notes. Mr. W. C. Buckner of the Dixie Concert Company is preparing an address to be made before the Young Men's Literary Club of Chicago in the autumn. Mrs. Catherine Olive McCoy, the accomplished reader who is to make several appearances before the Chautauqua audiences, came to this city some half dozen years since in the lecture course given in Earlham hall during one season. The Christmas after her appearance in Richmond, she received a charming little needle case and a letter from a small girl of this city who said that she sat on the front row and had so greatly enjoyed Mrs. McCoy's entertainment that she had determined to send her a Christmas present and so enclosed the little gift made by her own hands. Mrs. McCoy was much touched and pleased as well as amused, and said last evening she wondered if the little girl, who would now be a young woman still lived here. Mrs. McCoy gave her first reading this afternoon instead of in the evening on account of the change of program made necessary by the late arrival of the lecturer for the afternoon. One of the warm supporters of the Chautauqua is Dr. J. M. Thurston, who lias greatly enjoyed his stay at the Glen, having a tent near the west entrance. Miss Clark left yesterday afternoon for Dayton, where she goes to stay for a few days with a sister who is quite ill at that point. She will join the Kaffir Boys' Choir company later, in Michigan, where they went this morning and where they will end the season. Mr. Balmer an-

nouneed that he intended giving the boys .a.? vacation-;? in the woods and lake region of that - State as they were weary with their long season of travel and continuous entertainments. Mr. Balmer stated that he intended to "let them run wild" for a time as they did in their own native environment. Mr. Balmer is a great kodakist having many excellent pic

(Continued from First Page.1 tained movers from North Carolina. One of those wagons had in it a boy, who was accompanying his parents to the west. The movers settled in Parke county, Indiana. In 1851 this same boy, who was now fourteen years of age returned to find an edu cation in what was then known as theFriends' Boarding school, but now better known as Earlham College. This boy was named Joseph . John Guerney Cannon, in honor of the man who founded Ealrham College. That boy is" now known as J. G. Cannon, of Illinois, Speaker of the last House of , Representatives, and I frope will be selected as speaker of the next one of the ablest of counsellors, the safest and sanest of advisers. He is now familiarly known as" Uncle Joe" Cannon, whom I now have the pleasure of introducing to you, and I will say, if too, he is a genuine, cannon and not u toy pistol." When the distinguished speaker arose it was the signal for a tremendous outburst of applause. It was the first opportunity a number of the audience had of seeing Mr. Cannon, and he soon became a favorite. Mr. Cannon said in substance: "As I look about this vast hall, my first impression is where did you all come from? I remember away back in the early days on the Wabash in the days of the circuit riders. Those good men who Avere organizers of the commomvealth as Avell as the spiritual kingdom. One of those circuit riders Avas conducting a meeting on the Wabash and found one young man Avho didn't' get religion as readily as the minister expected. One' day he a'p-pi-oached the young man Avith the remark: 'Young man do you not get the power? Do you want to be born again?' The young man said 'No, I Avas born once in Richmond, Indiana and that's enough.' I never realized why this answer Avas made until tonight,' Avhen it is very plain." Here the speaker paid a gloAving tribute to the Avorth of our congressman, the Hon. James E. Watson. He said that out of the 38G members of the House of Representatives, Mr. Watson is one of twelve picked men. "I come to talk politics arid policies," said Mr. Cannon. "I come as a citizen of Illinois to talk to you as to the proper policies to be pursued in the immediate future to determine Avhatr. policies are best for the four years., to come. . . , "We. have tAvo candidates for the presidency yes, more, but yet tAvo Roosevelt is the Republican candidate and Parker, the opposition candidate. Parker is said to be an able lawyer and judge. He may be all of that, but prior to two years ago (and I know something about public men in this Republic) if the Almighty Father didn't know him better than you did and I did, he's lost. "If at the polls the Republicans maker a mistake and elect a Democratic president, the whole nation, Democrats and Republicans, suffer alike. If the policies of the gOAernment are settled right, both parties share in the prosperity as they have done in the past seven years. , This is a business campaign, the result of which effects the material prosperity of the country. Why does the constitution of the United States require a man to be twenty-one -years old before he can Aote? Because he must be a man before he should have a Aoiee in the settlement of the Avelfare of 80,000,000 of people." Here the speaker referred to the past history of the Democratic party, and said that if a man didn't understand why he was voting and what he was AOting for he was like so many pounds of horse or mule. "The question of labor Avith good wage and constant employment is the question to settle. The human race has only advanced and progressed under labor. "We have the raw material and man is placed upon earth to use this material, which requires labor. American capital is the product of labor. The Republican party came into power in 1S60 and Abraham Lincoln was its

first president. There Avas something of sentiment in Lincoln's success, and it Avas the men wbe lived by the sweat of their faces that elected Lincoln." The speaker then defined the differr ence between free and servile labor. He said the Democrats ever belie--ed in protection and do not now. Lincoln's platform declared for protection. "If it Avas sensible then, it is sensible now. We ought to pursue a policy that Avould give labor better wages than is paid in foreign countries. The Democracy Avere not in favor of a protection that Avould build up industries in the south, because that Avould increase Avages and they were opposed to high Avages. "When Lincoln came into power he perfected a tariff law that has stood from 1801 to the present day, a period of forty-three years, without intermission. In 1SGG the total manufactured product was eighteen hundred millions of dollars. Today the value of the product of our industries is thirteen thousand millions of dollars. In 11)00 the United States manufactured one-third of the manufactured products of the earth. Great Britain, Germany and France are the three greatest producing nations, but our country produces more than all three. While protection may be a robbery. I don't think it is. We stand first among the nations of the earth. I abuse no honest man for an honest opinion. Was the policy of Lincoln, Grant, Harrison, Garfield, McKinley and RooseAelt Avrong? Each of these presidents Avitnessed great prosperity in this nation, and the only mistake Avas made in electing Grover Cleveland for four years. You all remember that. The Democrats told you that protection Avas robbery. Ani you people in Indiana agreed with them and turned Harrison down in 1892. Wasn't the experiment costly? President Harrison Avas one of the ablest and most pratiotic presidents this country eAer had. With the hands of the dial turned back to 1S02 and Harrison a candidate against Cleveland, would you turn him down again? We guess not. In the fullness of time mistakes are corrected at the ballot box, and the mistake made in 1802 Avas corrected under the grand leadership of McKinley. From 1800 to 1004 there have been seven years of the greatest prosperity Labor found steady, employment and people Avere contented and happy. But the Democrats tell us living costs us more. Yes, that is true, but we've got something to live with now. "Farmers constitute one-third of our population. They have got the basic industry of this nation. During the Democratic administration there Avere 15,000,000 people out of employment. (Here the sneaker contrasted the conditions existing under Democratic and Republican administrations). He said Ave produce twentytwo thousand millions in this country.' With the year closing June 30, last, A"e sold more of our products than any nation on earth. We sold more than Ave bought. We are the greatest exporting nation on the earth. Since President McKinley Avent into office the world is in our debt four thousand millions of dollars. We haAe three thousand millions in savings banks. "They say that this State under the leadership of Taggart Avill go Democratic. (A dozen 'voices on the stage shouted, 'Not this year!') Well, that's what they 'say, but it's up to you. Mr. Cannon then reA-iewed the reasons given by the Democrats for wanting Parker elected nd why Roos-eA-elt should be elect ed. He paid a gloAving tribute to President Roosevelt and defied any Democrat to condemn any public act of the president. He referred to the settlement of the coal strike, the making of the Panama Canal a certainty and other public acts of his since be became president. After Mr. Cannon finished, calls were made for Congressman Watson, Avho responded briefly in his pleasinsr way. He-announced that he would save himself for the fifth of November, when he would address the people here on that occasion. The meeting then adjourned. Notes. The parade of the drum corps and the young men was a good starter for the opening night.

It was a success in every way. After the speaking at the Coliseum last night Speaker Cannon was tendered a reception. Hundreds of persons took the opportunity to shake hands Avith "Uncle Joe." A large number of persons were here -from out of town last night. E'ery railroad and cery traction line brought hundreds of people. SABnfYLES In Men's Clothing Will Prevail This WinterFreaks Have Passed. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Trousers, to begin with, the most essenntial garment are gettng back to saner principles. It. will be a far cry from the grain sack "peg topped" monstrosities, inaugurated by the college boys several years ago, to the trousers to be Avorn the coming fall. For seAeral years trousers have been big at the top and small at the bottom. Now the pendulum is swinging baelr the ther Avay; the bottoms are to be made larger, the knees smaller. As early as last spring this tendency Avas noted in the, East, and extremists Avere to be seen occasionj ally on Fifth avenue with trousers of an almost sailor-like effect. v j As for coats, the long double . I breasted sack is to be extremely lopjUlar for business wear. There Avill be ,no retraction from the Aery great j length noted in these caats" throughout jthe spring and summer, and it may be fa puzzling problem, before the winter , is over, to distinguish some , of the?e elongated sack suits from frocks. The deep split in the back will still be pop ,ular, but two splits at the side are considered beetter than the single one in the middle for winter Avear. j- Fancy waistcoats bid fair to conj tinue popular, in spite of the outraIge'ous advantages taken of this style jby persons lacking in taste, Avho have vested themselves in gaudy, checker board effects. There is positively no excuse for a fancy; waistcoat or any but the most modest, unobtrusive pattern. . "... . Coming to the outermost man, the overcoat is naturally a consideration of momentous importance. Tailors say that long, loose, roomy coats of the ordinary "Chesterfield" variety Avill be the thing this winter for ordinary business Avear. However, they will have to divide honors with the "skirted" coat, Avhich has of late years been making big headway among men wliose avoirdupois is not too considerable to admit the greater prominence of "lines" which this kind of coat bestOAAS. Corpulence in a "surtout" is likely to excite the public's risibilities to an uncomfortable extent, and no fat man outside of the theatrical brotherhood would have the hardihood to venture it. I The belted or "steamer "coat has gone, and gone for good. Indeed, the belted coat Avas ever a proper coat for city Avear, its real function being for travel and for country wear. It Avas such a durable, easy fitting garment, however, that it gained no little popularity among the college boj-s. In Chicago and the West in general it Avas eA-en seen with evening dress. But fashion cried out to the skies at this, and the belted coat will linger not much longer to shock the sensibilities of the fastidious. . In brief, all men's garments will be constructed this Avinter along loose, flowing lines, with grays and browns the popular colors. Regarding the accessories to man Avear haberdashers .state that Aving collars are to attain greater popularity man ever oeiore, except for eAvning dress, with which they will be eschewed; that brown derbies are making a A'igorous bid for popularity. Soft hats, which are to be tabooed, excepting for country Avear, will be decorated with modestly 'colored ribbons and will be worn flat. 5 : -. LARD! LAUD!! LARD!!!
